Convenience store market in Ho Chi Minh City

The booming activity of Vietnam creates new opportunities in several economic sectors, including retail. Like other big cities of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City sees chains of convenience stores rapidly expanding throughout its districts, providing new services for the population to buy products locally.

Convenience stores in Vietnam come in competition with more traditional local family stores and with already well-established supermarkets. To find their place in the broader retail market of Vietnam, they have to expand rapidly in several locations so as to really deliver the “convenience” of their services: local availability for the quick purchase of specific products or needs and emergencies out of usual business hours.

While convenience stores were barely present in Vietnam only a few years ago, local and foreign chains are now battling fiercely to gain a dominant position in the country. With leaders like Circle K and Family Mart, many challengers are also growing in Ho Chi Minh City and around Vietnam.
